Cool XKR clone on ebay... What boot?

Hey guys, I was looking on ebay tonight and saw an add for an xkr clone. I clicked-on, started looking... I was spell bound by the rear view of this one because of the boot/spoiler... what is it from? Has anyone able to identify it?
I realy like the looks of this and would do this mod. Can it be from an Arden kit? or other kit??? Please let me know if you can I.D this for me.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Here's what bhpbug is asking about.

To each their own, not my cup of tea!

You may have been spellbound by the rear view - I was horrified by the interior view:

Rather misses the point about owning a Jaguar!

There's no accounting for taste.

It looks like a factory boot lid that someone tried to aston-ize. A decent body shop should be able to fiberglass a stock boot lid to look like that if you'd like.

Well, Thanks for looking guys. I thought it was from someones body kit... I suppose a good body shop could glass that up. While I was not a fan of the interior either, I did like the Aston-ized boot... It's a lot better (IMO) than those cheap, 3/4" stick-on things... YUCK! I was hoping xkrracer would see it... are you out there racer??? ... he knows everything. That's not being sarcastic ...I mean the man knows!

That particular car has been for sale for quite a long time. There is a "Customized" XK8 that has been for sale for 2 years in my area. The car was totaled and rebuilt with aftermarket parts which made it cheaper to put back together. Personally I would steer clear wondering what else was patched together.

It looks good on that car. Would not like it on a conv. I have never seen one like it for sale- agree it must custom.
